took with
four planes to the Montebello resort in the winter.

Ian Coristine's story "Four Seasons
of Adventure" brought back a flood of wonderful memories for me.
Two career changes and multiple moves necessitated selling my Challenger
several years ago after it had travelled with me from Montreal to Victoria
and ultimately Seattle.

I used to live in the Great White North and do exactly the things
that his story outlines. It was wonderful flying, low key adventures in
the best possible sense.

I find it hard to imagine why many more people haven't discovered
this kind of flying. For the weekend Cessna renter who's tired of a sandwich
at this airport or a coffee at that, this is a revelation. Who could possibly
get bored with soaring, or skis, or floats, never mind wheels? Even if
you get bored with any one of them, as the season changes, you change landing
gear and have a whole new plane with a whole new set of abilities. And
for a fraction of the cost.

I miss it.

P.S. I've enclosed pictures of one of my favorite trips we took with
four planes to the Montebello resort in the winter. I hope you enjoy them.
